Interviewing and Partying with the Hogs; My 5 Minutes with Joe Gibbs

Igor Larionov: First Panther in HOF? Yes. Yes He Is.
Wonderful find by Richards' On Frozen Pond, and picked up by Mirtle's From The Rink. It would appear newly-minted Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov is the first person inducted into the Toronto shrine to have played with the Panthers. For 26 games. Evidently that's not enough for the Cats to tip...
